""I believe in supporting the very best. Students need the best teachers, and they also need the finest spaces in which to explore and extend their musical potential. I am proud to support this outstanding organisation and to contribute to the life and prospects of its students. I feel so lucky that my late husband Kristian Gerhard's extraordinary business life enables me to make this gift.""
""Wright & Wright Architects have been appointed to carry out the three-year project. Alongside the major refurbishment of the building's teaching and performance spaces, the project will create publicly accessible galleries, conservation-grade exhibition environments and collections-care studios for the Academy's Special Collections, which include Stradivari instruments and rare archival materials. The museum is open to the public and free to visit, although currently only on Fridays between 11am and 6pm.""
The Royal Academy of Music campus in Marylebone occupies two buildings linked by an underground tunnel. A £30 million donation from philanthropist Mrs Aud Jebsen will fund a three-year refurbishment led by Wright & Wright Architects to improve teaching and performance facilities. The Academy's Museum and Collections, currently spread over two floors in the old building, will be reimagined to create publicly accessible galleries, conservation-grade exhibition environments and collections-care studios for Special Collections that include Stradivari instruments and rare archival materials. The museum is free to visit but currently open only on Fridays between 11am and 6pm.
